FOME Self-Healing Cutting Mat A2 Size

I bought this mat as it was described and advertised as a craft mat when I purchased it. However, my craft is art journaling and mixed media and this is just the wrong product for that.

GOOD THINGS
> Perfect for measuring and cutting on it, or just to use as a computer mat and protect the table from coffee drips, food etc.
> It is very large.
> Sturdy material.
> It looks great on the table.
> One side has inches and the other centimeters.
> The measurements are clearly marked in white colour so it is very easy to use for measuring and cutting.

BAD THINGS

> I would have wished that inches and cms were side by side on both sides of the mat.
> Not a flexible or foldable material.
> Heavy.
> Not easy to store.
> Gets dirty very easily as it is difficult to clean from any painting-related stuff (paint, paste, gesso, etc.) and not even acetone will clean it. See an example of how it looks now on my table despite me having scratched it to no avail. That being the case it usually looks disgusting, even though I have scratched it and cleaned it thoroughly.
